Chapter 10

"Crash and Burn" is by Savage Garden. This is the hardest chapter to write, since many of you will throw expired fruit at me. But here it is, and the next story "Without Me" will soon come. The end of my Five-ology is drawing near.

Rosa looked at Danny with a unreadable expression. Danny sighed and looked at Rosa dead on. "Rosa, I love you, and always will..But I…" he closed his eyes and sighed deeply. "No I cant, this is too hard.."

Rosa looked at Danny. "You wanted us to break up didn't you?" She looked at him, her eye was trembling with the formed tear within it.

"Rosa..I..we can't keep doing this…hurting the ones we love. By being together, maybe our love was destined to fail.." Danny sighed and looked down.

Rosa looked at him softly, she put a hand to his face as a tear slid from her eye. "But you promised.."

"I know, and I won't break that promise. I will always love you. If you really want this to work, we would both have to give up a lot." He looked at her with sad eyes. Rosa finally understood. She closed her eyes and turned her head to one side as tears, black and clear slid from the sides of her face down to her trembling chin.

She understood what he meant and smiled a brave smile to him. He gave her a small smile back, and both hugged.

After a while, everyone went home.

(Begin song)

When you feel all alone
and the world has turned it's back on you

Rosa entered her house wearily, the past few days had torn away at her heart and soul. She glanced around at the empty house.

Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you

Rosa suddenly felt very claustrophobic and wanted to get out of that house. She put her arms around herself and slid her back down the wall and cried.

It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
when darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore

Brooke looked out the window and remembered her father, she bit her lip in frustration, she felt like she was forever alone, even with Rosa and her mother, it wouldn't still feel like home. No matter what Rosa said.

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night

The phone rang at Rosa's house and she hesitantly picked it up. "Hello?" she whispered.

"Rosa it's Brooke, are you alright?"

"No…." Rosa answered simply.

"Ill be right there." Rosa hung up the phone softly and continued to cry, then stopped abruptly and stared out into space.

If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Brooke ran as fast as her legs would carry her, her brown hair was flowing behind her like waves of amber on a strange and uncharted sea. Her brown eyes for once forgot about her own sorrow and seemed very concerned for her friend. She finally got to Rosa's house and saw her on the ground. Brooke quickly ran over to Rosa and held her in her arms and let her cry.

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find

Brooke held Rosa closely to her as she cried. Her hand brushed over Rosa's hair repeatedly, as if to sooth Rosa.

You're caught in a one-way street
With the monsters in your head

Rosa felt so helpless, Danny, her family, everything seemed to tumble down on her and it was tearing her from the inside out. The demons in her head constantly told her to go back to Danny, but she denied them.

When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day

She continued to hold onto Brooke until she became exhausted. She fell into a deep sleep, and Brooke looked down on her with sadness and pity.

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall

"Danny.." Sam said softly, touching his shoulder. He closed his eyes.

"How could I do that Sam?" He asked softly.

"You wanted to protect your friends, your family, it meant giving her up..or everyone else.." Sam said softly, she hugged Danny tightly.

"I need to get out of this house, want to come?" Danny asked, pulling away. Sam nodded. "Sure." Sam then blinked in surprise as Danny turned into Danny Phantom, then picked Sam up and phased through the wall.

Lift you up and fly away with you into the night

Sam gasped and held onto Danny's neck, as she glanced down and saw the town below her. Danny flew with her into the darkness of the night that it was.

If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

They soon landed far away from the area and Danny just glanced at it in deep sadness, he didn't cry, but Sam knew he was hurting bad. She put a friendly arm around him. "Danny. She still loves you, no matter what."

" I know, I just feel so alone.." Danny whispered. Sam hugged him tightly. "Your never alone, not with all of us, all of your friends." Sam gave him a small smile on her face. He looked into her violet eyes and smiled himself a little.

And there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breathe again

"thank you Sam, thank you.." Danny said, feeling much better.

"What are friends for?" Sam smirked.

Brooke lied Rosa down softly. She smiled softly at the girl, and stayed by her side. "It will all turn out fine Rosa… you will see.."

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned it's back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart

Star glanced at the dark sky above her, a strange chill flew through the air, she shivered, her black hair brushing against her cheek.

"You feel that?" Aries asked her softly, Star nodded. "Something is very wrong, and it's going to get worse."

Aries looked at her, worried. "Did we do the right thing?" he asked.

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart

Rosa looked out her window softly, feeling the strange force. Danny too, gazed out at the stars, he shivered slightly.

"I don't know Aries," Star whispered. "I don't know.."

I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Vlad smirked wickedly as he saw the events unfold in his lab, in the strange ball of light before him, he used to spy on Danny and his friends. "Excellent.." he whispered, a new plan entering his diabolical mind.

THE END..for now…
